Nearly half a year later, I decided to finish what I started, so i finished the drawing, scanned iit, and started colouring.
Though instead of painting it in Painshop prro I decided to try out painting in Photoshop, so this is my first serious Photoshop painting attempt, though I still plan on adding more detail and maybe some fire breath.
c&c welcome

Interesting idea, im looking forward to see the final result.
However, nice drawing btw, that looks more like a snake then a dragon (how does one know how a dragon looks like :S) unless ofcause if you wanna have your dragon have the "snake-concept", like Rain of Fire where the dragons breath fire like a snake spits poison.. well you know what i mean (hopfully)

for me it look like a serpant or something @@ a dragon should have a more *fiery-look*

:p

Yes, the head should look a bit snake-ish.

Looks more like a Wyvern, going by typical features.

A lindorm/lindwyrm is a type of Wyvern.

Except lindworms have 2 legs, wyverns have none.

Sorry, but you're quite wrong

Well I've got most of my info from this book, so I may be wrong.

Looking really good Olof, are you still working on it?

Yes.

Yeah, it looks really promising - considering that you're still working on it.
I like the way you created the reptilian concept, by making it resemble the head of a snake. Keep up the good work ^_^

EDIT: Great choice of color, btw
